Facebook isn’t likely to MySpace Android or iOS any time soon. But this is a smart, ambitious project for Facebook. I like it. -- Dan Frommer

I barely use Facebook at all anymore. And I certainly wouldn't buy a phone from them.

  I've never done facecrooks, and sure won't buy a phone from them.  I can only imagine how much software and/or hardware tracking that's built in....

There is no off, to the best of my knowledge.  You might be able to become inactive - I doubt it - but there just ain't no off  .

I guess it depends on your definition of Off.

I had 3 accounts, and now I only have one.  The other two are nowhere to be found, and the e-mail addresses behind them receive nothing to do with facebook.

Why Facebook Home is a Bad Idea and Doesn't Make Sense

-there is no facebook phone, but a facebook phone concept. (?!)

I was going to post first but thought I'd better look at your links first Curt -
yes, it's an app that takes over your phone. Sort of like a virus


from your third link:

Facebook Home will feature ads in the near future.

The phone is pretty good if Facebook is all you care about...
